Weight

The NPS dataset contains analysis weights that account for nonresponse and post-stratification (WGTPOPNRPS). The final weight was computed as the product of a nonresponse weight and a post-stratification weight, then centered such that the sum of the weights is 3,339, the total number of NPS respondents(WGTCENT).
